All you need is planning, books and coaching!!


Planning

This seems to be a boring and sometimes even unyielding a task but it can make you or break your preparations. Plan your studies on a monthly or weelky basis. Write your schedule at a place from where you can readily retrieve it. Take into account all the interruptions (like functions, gatherings and the like). Make your plan in a way that you complete your syllabus at least 2 months before the exams. Why? Read on. Also, each morning set yourself goals that you seek to achieve and then work hard to achieve them.

Books

Be selective in choosing the books. Never go in for more than 2 books for a subject/topic. And do not get intimidated by the bulk of the study material. If you plan well and remain selective, you’ll complete all of it. Read from the standard recommended books and take advice on buying books from peers and relatives but go for only one book as the main line of attack for concepts building and one another for extra reference or problems. Always try to complete a book rather than leaving three incomplete. If you are preparing for CBSE PMT, select books which will give you enough practice in subjective questions especially numericals. Solving objective types is easier but the hard stuff is where the losers stop!

Coaching

This is a highly situation specific topic. Always think a hundred times before taking admission. Will it be of real help? If yes, will it help you in an area where you can’t help yourself? Will it take too much time? Are you going in because you don’t want to miss out? Read my review on coaching institutions if you need more help.
